Some good news: Loony California Democrat Pete Stark defeated after 40 years in Congress

There was a sliver of good news from last night. Loony California Congressman Pete Stark finally got his ass kicked out of Congress after 40 years. A Democrat will replace him since California has their weird top two primary candidates move to the general election, but I can live with that. I guess this offsets the nut Alan Grayson returning to Congress.

It’s widely known that Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.), 80, is Congress’ only known atheist. The outspoken politician has touted his non-belief on numerous occasions, serving as a champion to atheists and agnostics across America. But on Tuesday, Stark’s supporters were delivered a blow when he was defeated by fellow Democrat Eric Swalwell.

The congressman, who was first elected in 1972 and who has been in office for the past 40 years, will no longer serve as a voice for secularists. Notably, Swalwell, a 31-years-old city councilman and county prosecutor, used Stark’s vote against the national motto (“In God We Trust”) to deride his opponent.
